Civil War Theme

Overview

Macon survived the Civil War unscathed to flourish. This era is
preserved and evident in several attractions including the Cannonball
House and Confederate Museum, the Sidney Lanier Cottage, Rose Hill
Cemetery and downtown architecture and monuments.
See all that's left after Sherman torched Clinton, once a bustling
town, which never recovered. Witness a real Civil War re-enactment with
the sounds of Confederate battle cries, the smell of black powder
muskets and the mighty roar of artillery during Old Clinton War days
held the first weekend in May annually. Macon's 1800 Club of old south
dancers is a lovely entertainment to complement this theme. Then travel
on to Georgia's antebellum capital, Milledgeville, and see its
delightful architecture including the old state Capitol building and
the Old Governor's mansion before returning to Macon.
